Transition to Cruelty Free Products

May 18, 2015 — 10 Comments

About 2 years ago, I decided to start transitioning my beauty and household products to cruelty free products. There is a HUGE space in my heart for animals, and I remember sobbing while reading this article (not graphic) about Tommy the Beagle, who spent the first four years of his life in a lab.  Right after reading, I started researching the products I was using, and started looking for cruelty free alternatives.  You would be surprised how many companies test on animals.

This is the first of many posts that I will share to assist you in making the transition to cruelty free!

Cruelty Free Products

Burt’s Bees, The Honest Company

Cruelty Free Product

Sun Bum

Cruelty Free Product

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula

Cruelty Free Product

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day

PETA has an awesome search engine on their website where you can look up which companies test or do not test on animals.  You can find it here: PETA Search Engine.

Please think of all of the precious animals, and join me in switching to cruelty free!

Favorite Things-April 2015

Another month, another list of favorites…

1. Jennifer Hudson Carpool Karaoke: From The Late Late Show with James Corden.  This is hysterical!  I have had this playing on repeat like it is a single.  I wish I could hang out with them 😉

2. Half Up Knot Hair Tutorial: The perfect combo of romantic and simple.  I don’t like to put a ton of work into doing my hair, but need to branch out a bit.  I’m gonna have to try this!

3. Vegan Leather Tote: Looks similar to a very popular Rebecca Minkoff bag, but vegan!  Love!

4. Kendra Scott Abra Double Band Ring: I have mixed feelings about Kendra Scott jewelry.  Some I like, but I feel it has been VERY overdone in the blogging community.  This ring, however, I haven’t seen too much of and I like that it can be both a statement ring, and a dainty detail.

5. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: I cannot recommend this show enough.  It is hilarious…quirky humor + 90s references and I’m sold.  Go watch it NOW!

6. The Honest Company Multi-Surface Cleaner: Over the past few years I have worked on doing a complete overhaul of all my beauty and cleaning products to switch to cruelty free products.  I am very passionate about protecting and rescuing animals.  The Honest Company products are not only cruelty free, but also non-toxic and safe.  This multi-surface cleaner has the scent of white grapefruit and makes it so much easier to do spring cleaning.  It fills your home with a wonderful aroma!

I hope you’ll check some of these out!

Cinderella

March 30, 2015 — Leave a comment

I’m basically a little girl trapped in a 20-something’s body.  I am currently drinking pink lemonade and have High School Musical playing in the background. I always check out the little girl’s shoe section at Target AND have purchased some. I’ve seen the new Cinderella movie twice now….and will probably go again soon!

The new Cinderella movie is stunning…between the art direction, the costumes, the moment the Prince and Ella meet…ahh, *heart flutters!*  The Prince and Ella are b-e-a-utiful!

Actress, Lily James, had a few of her own Cinderella moments while on the red carpet at the Cinderella premieres.  I am kind of obsessed with these looks.  Light, romantic makeup and hair, shimmering gowns, and magical accessories.  Straight up perfection!
